<p>This plugin will output a list of your chosen categories and filter the posts on the fly using jQuery animation.</p>
<p>The setting pages allows you to select which categories should appear, whether or not to include jQuery (if you don’t already have it in the ) and a place to define the posts container. This should be either the class or id of the div that contains all the posts for filtering.</p>
<p><strong>I am open to suggestions to improve the plugin !</strong></p>

<p>Add an advanced search form to bbPress search page with filters and search results ordering controls. On the admin side, you can control which user roles (or visitors) can use filters, and hide the filters you don’t want to use.</p>
<p>The Plugin adds the following filters:</p>
<ul>
<li>Forums, including an option to select forums, and search subforums</li>
<li>Users, select a user or type username</li>
<li>Content Type (reply, topic)</li>
<li>Topic Status</li>
<li>Topic Tags</li>
<li>Date Period, predefined list of periods</li>
<li>Change results sort order</li>
</ul>
<p>Also, plugin can replace the default search form to include the link to the advanced form. The plugin supports use of the templates’ replacement package plugin <a href="https://plugins.dev4press.com/gd-quantum-theme-for-bbpress/" rel="nofollow ugc">GD Quantum Theme Pro for bbPress</a>.</p>
<p>Plugin uses templates with filters and actions, and all templates can be overridden through theme, just like default bbPress templates can.</p>
